After all of the things talked about the media will still talk mainly about...

Crowd Size and Trump being Thin Skinned.


The questions related to the CIA were part of this too.
What they wanted to insinuate was the cheering was done by Trump People while the 400 CIA people hated him being there.


So dishonest, such partisan hacks.

CROWD SIZE IS CRITICAL TO NATIONAL SECURITY!
WE MUST NEVER STOP MELTING ABOUT IT!

Call me crazy, but I think this whole crowd size/mlk bust shite talk was a test. Media wanted to send up a trial balloon to see how the new admin would react. Just a little push to test the push back. Mission Accomplished, Mr. President!
It's Trump Time, people.

Well...he blatantly lied about the crowd size. What do you expect them to ask about?

And with this moronic frontpage article the Trump Administration just cut off CNN's press credentials. You can write it in dark red ink that Jim ain't gonna be invited back now or will be pushed all the way to the back of the room.

Largest audience ever. Seemed to hold up to examination.

Democrats and media before election: Trump's crowd-size doesn't mean anything. Irrelevant. Not even worth discussing.

Democrats and media after election: Crowd-size at an inauguration is the only topic worth talking about. Super important.

When you include online streaming, it was. I've seen even liberal outlets admit this.

But they'll now likely do some mental gymnastics in order to claim that this is false.

But that wasn't even the context of the claim to begin with. Remember. Trump's 1.5 million? He's saying technically the response was accurate because he misled you in his answer

And what about the magnetometers? And Metro ridership? Did he explain those claims away?

You guys are getting into Jim Jones' "People's Temple" territory. You probably think Trump doesn't poop. Stay away from the Kool Aid!

I didn't watch, but following along on Twitter the media response has been kind of all over the place. A few said he did an admirable job and it was the Spicer they knew and respected. Others have called him out on more alleged lies he told during it.

Most were amused how he characterized the humiliation of the crowds not being as big as expected, or the reporting of same.

His comment on disagreeing with the facts got pretty unanimous criticism.

"Audience"

Anyway, who fricking cares?

We all know that this is strictly a distraction narrative to try and make his presidency seem illegitimate. It is completely irrelevant.
